The idea of "rivers" runs through the artwork of both artists Mack Dryden and Albertus Gorman, whose work make up the exhibit "Cross Currents" at Craft(s) Gallery & Mercantile. Both also find material for their works at the Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville, Ind.

Dryden, who just had his work in New York’s Outsider Art Fair and garnered attention from the website Blouin Artinfo, began creating his sculptures after being “overwhelmed by the mind-boggling volume and variety of driftwood” at the river’s shore. He learned to work the wood into shapes that bring out the beauty in the grain only after experimenting with tints and stains to realize that wasn’t the right path.

Gorman uses word along with a different kind of river born material to create his sculptures – found refuse washed up on the shoreline of the park and in the form of plastic combs, toys and other objects as well as Styrofoam.
